Navarro later apologized for the comments, telling a news conference in Washington on Tuesday: "My job is to send a signal of strength".

"I used language that was inappropriate and basically lost the power of that message", he said.

President Trump may be fresh off a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, but he's still smarting from a perceived slight from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "That's what weak, dishonestJustin Trudeau did", said Navarro, referring to the joint press conference that is routinely held at the end of the annual events.

The president's staff then blasted Trudeau on Sunday with economic advisor Larry Kudlow accusing Canada of stabbing the U.S.in the back.

Freeland said she had a "good conversation" Sunday with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and that the pair would try to meet in Washington this week.

Trudeau has declined to directly respond to Trump's criticism of him.
